CCPA-BC joins community, First Nation, environmental groups in call for public inquiry into fracking

Today the CCPA's BC Office joined with 16 other community, First Nation and environmental organizations to call for a full public inquiry into fracking in Britsh Columbia.

The call on the new BC government is to broaden a promise first made by the NDP during the lead-up to the spring provincial election, and comes on the heels of new revelations about the fracking process, including:

Escalating water usage by fracking companies.

Poor or misleading consultations with First Nations.

Widespread industry non-compliance with relevant provincial water laws through the construction of dozens of unlicensed dams.
